We divide 398242 by 52
Our goal is to divide 398242 by 52.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 52

Step 2:
52 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 39, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 398 / 52

Step 3:
The number 52 fits into 398 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 364 from 398.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 342 / 52

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 52 fits into 342 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 76.0
If we take 312 away from 342, we end up with 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 52

Going ahead to step 5:
52 goes into 304 5 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 765.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 260 from 304.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 442 / 52

Let's proceed to step 6:
52 goes into 442 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7658.0
Subtracting 416 from 442 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 52, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7658.5
If we subtract 260 from 260, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7658.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 52, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7658.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7658.5 with a balance of 0.0.
